    242GT UM. I Just checked a Price for Shipping to Australia at FCP

    for a AU$26 Head Bolt Set .The Postage for Just this set is AU$50.oo..

    Bit extreme for me..

      242GT Just read the Postage bit from from page. I have seen that Orders to Australia over $49.00 FREE SHIPPING To Australia.. Yeah.. As we need a Head Gasket Set @ AU$149.00 . Thanks

      Did you got to the search box on Oz Volvo , type in FCP postage , read article , apply for the half price postage.
      Check the site out see what's on special as far as consumable parts go for your volvo.
      Eg: filters , plugs , seals etc.

      Also invite others to go in for a group buy and share the half price postage

        Go to Volvo Australia, then... who'll charge you $46 for each head bolt, last time I checked (a few years ago now). At the time, I got a set from the US for $110 shipped and they arrived in a week. Never bothered with local stealers since.

        Since COVID, shipping from anywhere overseas to OZ is expensive.

          Ant,
          Did you email Scot at FCP give him the purchase order number and he will half the postage.
          He's a great bloke who has helped many of us afford to buy overseas

            I've been pricing 850 parking brake parts from the dealer here in Australia , they have increased their prices massively since the last time I bought genuine parts , plus the Aus$ has dropped to 62 cents as well.

            Note : Volvo Australia shipping all parts via the ocean now , so there's a 3 months waite

            242GT Thank you. this sounds like the answer i was looking for…

            It's important you read the postage article that James has put together with FCPEuro and follow the instructions , theres alot of money to be saved and spent on qaulity parts from them
